1 What was the weather like on Sunday?
Girl: Hi, Tom! Did you go sailing on Sunday?
Boy: Yes and no.
Girl: What do you mean? It didn’t rain, did it?
Boy: No, and I did go sailing in the morning, but after a couple of hours it was too hot and sunny, so I had to go back home.
Girl: Oh, that’s a shame. Never mind, you can go again when it’s windy and not so hot.
2 What will they do at the weekend?
Boy: Shall we go to the skateboard park at the weekend?
Girl: I love going there but it’s going to be 40 degrees this weekend; and the skateboard park is outdoors.
Boy: We could play basketball in the sports centre.
Girl: I still think it will be too hot. What about going to the beach?
Boy: Ok, good idea. I’ll borrow my brother’s surfboard.
3 How much did the boy’s shorts cost?
Girl: Were these shorts on sale?
Boy: Yes. Everything on that shelf was nine pounds ninety-five.
Girl: Great. Was this T-shirt the same price?
Boy: No. That was fifteen pounds fifty, and I bought it with the shorts. So I paid twenty five pounds forty-five in total.
4 What will they do on Monday?
Alex: Shall we go to the park and ride our bikes there on Saturday, Tina?
Tina: I’m busy on Saturday as I’ll go for a picnic with my cousins.
Alex: Oh, what a pity.
Tina: Well, it’s a holiday on Monday, so our school is closed. Let’s go then.
Alex: Of course it is! OK, that would be perfect. We can do our homework on Sunday.
5 What time will the girl’s father meet her teacher?
Man: Can I speak to your father, please?
Girl: He’s not at home now. Should I ask him to call you back at half past five, when he returns?
Man: I’m meeting a customer then. I can call you back at six o’clock.
Girl: Oh, he’ll be meeting my school teacher at six. Can you please call at half past six?
Man: OK, that’s fine.

Man: Welcome to the Museum of the Natural World. I know most of you are interested in the new dinosaur exhibition, so I will take you there first. The tour will take 1 hour. Afterwards, you can look at the rainforest and countryside exhibitions by yourselves. (6) Don’t forget that your coach leaves at 11 am, so you have 3 hours, in total, for your visit. (7) There are guidebooks for sale at the information desk. (8) Please remember, you cannot take photographs in the museum. Of course, you may write down information in your notebooks if you like.
Next year we will have a new exhibition on technology and the natural world. We were hoping to have it ready by March 13th. Unfortunately, it will now open a month later, on April 12th, (9) a week before the school holidays, which start on April 20th. We hope you can visit us again, then! When you leave the museum today, (10) please remember to collect your coats from the entrance hall.
Enjoy your visit!

Alan: (11) We’ve got a new teacher for Maths, mum!
Mum: (11) I hope he’ll be better than the last one!
Alan: But mum, he was so popular!
Mum: (11) I’m not surprised. Teachers who forget to ask their students to do their homework are always popular!
Alan: But my grades were good, last term!
Mum: That’s because you always study hard.
Alan: I suppose so.
Mum: Anyway, (12) do you like your new teacher?
Alan: He seems nice. (12) But I don’t always understand when he explains things in class.
Mum: Maybe maths is more difficult this term?
Alan: Yes, it is. But I think our teacher is the problem.
Mum: Why?
Alan: (12) He spends a lot of time explaining things. But he just speaks too fast.
Mum: (13) Why doesn’t someone tell him that?
Alan: He’s new and the other students are afraid to say anything.
Mum: (14) If you like, I can say something.
Alan: But not to him, right?
Mum: No. (14) To the headteacher.
Alan: (15) Do you really think that’s a good idea?
Mum: Yes. That way he’ll know there’s a problem.
Alan: (15) Why don’t we leave it a week or two?
Mum: How will that help?
Alan: (15) Maybe he is afraid because he is still new. That could explain why he speaks so fast.
Mum: You may be right. If things don’t improve after two weeks, I’ll go and talk to the headteacher.
Alan: OK then, mum. [sighing]

16 You will hear a mum talking to her son. Where were they a few minutes ago?
Mum: Have you got everything you need, from the supermarket, Gary?
Boy: Yes mum. I didn’t get the chocolate cake, however.
Mum: It’s too expensive, isn’t it?
Boy: Yes, but it’s still popular. There was none left on the shelf!
Mum: Never mind. I’m sure you have some at home. We just left the place. We haven’t got time now to go somewhere else.
Boy: Yes, I know. You need to collect my sister from school!
17 You will hear two friends talking. Why is the boy going to Bob’s house?
Girl: Are you going to football practice, Harry?
Boy: No. I can’t today.
Girl: Why? Are you busy doing the new school project?
Boy: You know me! I only study when I have to!
Girl: So? Where are you going?
Boy: To Bob’s house. I think I left my sports kit there. So I have to find it first. If I don’t, at least we’ll play some computer games at the internet cafe.
18 You will hear a husband and wife talking. Why doesn’t the woman want the ring?
Woman: What a beautiful ring! But I’m sure it is expensive, Bob.
Man: I’ll buy it for you, Mary!
Woman: Thank you. But I don’t think it’s a good idea.
Man: Why not?
Woman: I do a lot of washing up every day.
Man: Take off your ring before you put on your washing up gloves. That way it will always be nice.
Woman: But I’m afraid that way I’ll lose it.
Man: OK, then. How about a necklace?
19 You will hear a girl talking about her plans for the next month. Why can’t she go to the school party?
Girl: Sorry Abdul, but I can’t come to the school party next month. I know it’ll be fun, but if I have a late night, I won’t be able to wake up early the next day. I know that we don’t need to go to school because the holiday starts then, but my parents have booked a flight to Paris for the whole family. It isn’t an early flight, but the bus to the airport leaves really early.
20 You will hear two neighbours talking. Why are they upset?
Boy: Here are your letters. Are these mine?
Girl: Yes. I really think we should phone the post office.
Boy: My parents have tried a few times. Every time they say they’ll do something about it.
Girl: I don’t understand why this is happening. The addresses are clearly written on the envelopes.
Boy: Do you think this is happening to other people, as well?
Girl: Probably!
